Opening night for the MyArtSpace show at the McCormack Gallery, New York. A bijou room in the heart of NY art scene, hosted by MyArtSpace, and attended by a very eclectic mix of people. We made the most godawful noise on the industrially themed stairwell with our cha-cha heels, and were significantly overdressed for the occasion which was utterly and gloriously fabulous daahlinks.
From the left, Meghan and Kelly my gorgeous nieces, Leigh their brilliant mum (and have to say a natural art critic), Paul (my escort for the evening) and yours truly.
It started at 3.30 in the afternoon when the limo arrived. Getting into the limo in cha-cha heels and a short skirt was accomplished without too much shoving and we were on our way.
Needless to say we arrived in some considerable style.
We deemed it necessary to dress Simon (my brother-in-law) as my investor and Paul (aka OiBoy) was instructed to walk 3 feet behind me at all times to hand out cards...which he did....indubitably so.
I should explain at this point that our key phrases for the evening schmoozing with the NY art crowd were 'indubitably' and 'I concur'.....
It was really brilliant to catch up with fellow MyArtSpace winners and friends from 2006, and I can honestly say when I walked into the room for the first time I was truly speechless. I was also lucky enough to meet some truly decent (and for the art scene, comfortingly normal) people. Brian and Luke I hope our paths cross again.
I couldn't take photos in there (it wasn't appropriate) as there was a photographer, but I am promised copies of the photos so I'll post them here as soon as he gets back to Texas.
No visit to an art show opening is complete without the party afterwards and family member attempts at installation pieces. Its a work in progress.

Looks like you did NY in spectacular style…I would have expected nothing less :) Great frock, very you :)…I just hope you’ll still talk to us little people now you’re a big star ;) Have a safe journey home, looking forward to hearing all your NY stories over a pint soon :)
I have to say Simon's tie is a work of art itself! Did it win any prizes on the night?? Looking forward to the official photos!
Hey baby hey - where are the photos of the heels? What happened to the rat like dog? Looking forward to seeing you soon - if as G says, a big star like you will still speak to us 'little people'.
As for the installation piece - gosh a 'ready made' in the Duchamp tradition, wow.
